GTA 5 Online - Exploring North Yankton in 2024

This is the first time I had the opportunity to explore this wonderful land called North Yankton. Being a fan of Fargo, I really enjoyed the experience and I will remain with the regret that this place did not receive the attention it deserved.

The State of North Yankton is a state that appears in Grand Theft Auto V, being featured in the missions Prologue and Bury the Hatchet. The state is located in the Midwest.
Chronologically, it is the first location accessible to the player in the HD Universe, with the Prologue being set in 2004, four years before the story of Grand Theft Auto IV. However, only a small section of North Yankton is accessible, specifically the region around the town of Ludendorff, as deviating from the game's pre-determined route will result in mission failure. This is because the rest of the map doesn't physically exist and several areas are not rendered, being replaced by background textures.

The main road in Ludendorff is Cavalry Boulevard, which has a railway line running across it, but if the player deviates from the road, the roads and rails will also begin to lose textures. Trees are also missing textures, except the closest ones, and some are placed over the roads. Missing terrains are at least the same, with fake fences rounding large portions of the map.

With the exception of breakable objects around the Ludendorff Church and Cemetery, most objects in the area, such as stop signs, trashcans and fences are unbreakable compared to their Los Santos counterparts. This is due to the fact that North Yankton doesn't allow the player to explore. In addition, the warning lights on the railroad crossings always flash.

Traffic paths do exist for North Yankton, and unique, snow-covered versions of vehicles found outside the state can be observed driving on Cavalry Boulevard and some of the other streets surrounding Ludendorff.

North Yankton is so far the only location in the Grand Theft Auto series that is completely landlocked.
